We would feed our puppy English bulldog this formula recommended by our vet. It’s important for English bulldogs and any dog really to have the proper diet, but English bulldogs get overheated to easily to exercise so their diet needs to be impeccable to say the least. So we use the adult formula now and have for 2ish years. Our bulldog is in amazing health and weight, the vet says he’s one of the healthiest weights for a bulldog he’s ever seen!

Very beneficial for small dogs

I have a Boston terrier, Pomchi, and a chihuahua. This dog food is very delicious to my dog. It keeps them regulated. I am keeping them on this. I also love the Sam’s club price! I feed my dogs this, and no more issues going to the potty too many times. I recommend trying it for your little ones.

Great for dogs who have sensitive or fewer teeth

My small dachshund had to lose his upper row of teeth due to health problems and so I needed to switch to a easily swallowable food for him. This product is great because the kibble is small and doesn’t require a lot of chewing so it’s easier for him to eat his meals without too much difficulty.

Change is formula causing issues

The size and color of this has changed. I bough 2 bags from 2 separate places and it doesn't look like it has for the last 8 years. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and gave to my dog, and now she has diarrhea, terrible stomach noise, and wont eat. Please bring back the formula that it was for the last 8 years!!!

This is the one brand of food my dog will actually eat. He is very picky and turns his nose up at most dry foods, but this he gobbles up as soon as it is in front of him. Smaller pieces which makes it easier for him to eat since he is between 5 and 8 pounds.

Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Rice Formula Small Breed Dry Dog Food

"My dog is a very picky eater, but she really enjoys this food. I've been feeding her Blue Buffalo Life Protection Chicken and Rice Formula Small Breed Dry Dog Food for five years, and it has been fantastic for her. It provides her with the energy she needs to stay active and supports her muscles, joints, and overall mobility. Her stool is consistently solid, which is great, and she doesn’t experience any stomach issues with this brand. I’m genuinely pleased that my dog loves this flavor and eats it happily."

I like Blue Buffalo products and always felt good about giving them to my dog. However, we found that my dog was having a lot of stomach issues when on this food and after trying to switch flavors and finding no success, we ended up switching brands all together.

My dog stays healthy eating this

My fur baby, Pepper, loves this food. I tried to get a picture of her eating it, but she was wiggling too much. That’s how much she loves it. You can see her coat is shiny and she is very healthy. She has never had issues with digestion. I like that it comes in smaller bags, because she her portions are small and the food remains fresh to the end. I also appreciate the price, which is not cheap, but reasonable for what I’m getting.

Good Dog Food!

This food is also a good choice. I fed this to my dogs years ago and they all seemed to enjoy it. The only reason why I switched because the store we were purchasing this from continuously didn’t have the chicken and my dogs don’t do well on any other flavors. Highly recommend!

My little Roxy loves this one over all others. She has tried almost every flavor of blue buffalo, but this is the only one she seems to really get excited for. This is a great buy and based on how much Roxy loves it, I would encourage all dog owners to make the right choice and get only the best for their pups.
